Nationalism has been the most influential trend in both current political discussions as well as the in the emergence of more engrained political processes in Turkey.

Nationalism is represented in almost all political structures and provides for many issues of Turkey the necessary templates for easy explanations and reactions, which most of the time function successfully. Through conditioned reflexes, which have been imprinted to the collective subconscious of the country, nationalism manages to mobilize reactions to current issues. It can easily be said that it is the trend with the highest political decisiveness.
Generally speaking, for a development such as this to be considered a civilization, there must be some form of government, which regulates to a certain extent the lives of the citizens.
